. Serial No. 389,565. Y

This invention relates to bumping-out tools for removing indentations in the metal body of a vehicle such, for instance, as an automobile, and the present application constitutes a a continuation of my application Ser. No.

275,215, filed May 4, 1928. In automobile constructions there is an exterior metal body, back of which is an inner frame or skeleton construction, formed of 10 connected beams and braces of either wood These beams or braces forming the or metal. frame of the automobile body cover up much or most of the inner surface of the metal body, and in order to remove the indentations from the metal body of an automobile or other vehicle, it is now'the ordinary practice to remove the inner frame construction which obstructs access tov the inner surface of the metal bod to be bum ed out, and then to place a meta block or olly against the noweexpos'ed interior surface of the sheet metal body and apply blows of suitable character to the exterior of the sheet metal body to remove the indentations and restore the metal body to its initial or desired form.

This method of procedure has absorbed much time, involving great expense, and has necessitated the tearing down of the inner frameconstruction back of the exterior metal body in order to get access to the inner surface of the latter, as there is not suflicient s ace between the metal body of an automobile or the like and the inner frame construction to permit the insertion of the hand or an arm to hold an anvil or dolly block in p'osi tion. and so, as heretofore practiced, it has been necessar to remove the inner frame structure as a ve outlined." One of the important features of the pres- 40 cut invention consists in Ta bumping-out tool of such character that it ma be; inserted between the metal body ofte vehiclefor automobile and the inner frame construction without disturbing their assembled relation,

with the result that dimbling of parts becomes unnecessary, and indentations may be removed from the metal body without the necessity of removing the ad'acent frame or backing structure and the de ay and expense In accordance with the present invention the anvil portion of-the bumping-out tool is of general blade-like form, that is, of such construction that it may be inserted between the metal body and the inner frame construc- -tion, to engage the portion of the surface to be bumped out, and may be held in this position by a handle suitably connected to the anvil, as will more fully appear.

More specifically stated, the anvil is of so blade-like structure having extending longitudinally and transversely thereof a curved contour in substantial accordance with the curvature of the portion of the metal body without materially displacing either, and

thereby forming a passa eway for the main portions of the anvil itse f.

-When the anvil is in place as above stated and rests against the metal bod at the portion where the indentation exists, hammerblows of suitable nature are applied to the so exterior portion of the sheet metal body, the inner portion of which rests against the anvil, and the indentations are thus readily removed.

Inasmuch as the anvil in many cases may as not have its back or end ortion resting against a support such ast e inner frame construction, it is desirable that the weight ofthe tool shall be suflicient to cause the inertia of rest of the tool itself as a whole to with- 00 stand the hammer blows necessary to remove the indentations. This weight of the tool, however, is not furnished altogether by the blade-like-anvil, because, as above stated the: anvil is of generally thin blade-like character to facilitate its insertion between the metal body and inner frame construction; the anvil however-possesses suflicient rigidity to withstand the hammer blows.

, To meet this condition and furnish the Y tool with suflicient weight or inertia of rest, the anvil is provided with a handle preferably of greater weight than the anvil itself, so that upon the application of the hammer-like blows to the exterior of the metal body, the inertia of rest of the tool as a whole will withstand-the bumping-out operation. As a result of this construction the tool possesses sufiicient weight to' resist the hammer blow, while a substantial portion of the weight of the tool is provided by the handle which is disposed in s aced relation to the anvil where it is out o the way anddoes not interfere with the insertion of the anvil between the metal body and inner frame.

The anvil portion of the tool preferabl tapers towards the terminal end thereo thereb furnishing an entering edge at the end 0 the anvil for insertion between the metal body and its inner frame construction when these parts are in close relation, or to facilitate the insertion of the anvil between i the metal body and backing structure against which the sheet metal of the body may rest.

The anvil and its connection with the handle are of sufficient rigidity and of such unyielding nature as to withstand the hammerlike blows in bumping out.

The present invention further resides in a group of differently shaped bumping out tools for use in removing indentations from different portions of the sheet metal structure of an automobile and from different types of automobiles.

That is, it may be necessary at times to remove indentations from various portions of the metal body of an automobile, and the curvature of the different portions of the metal body may differ considerably. Furthermore, some portions of the metal body that may need to be bumped-out maybe much more inaccessible than other portions thereof, and the conditions met in removing indentations vary materiallyin different types of automobiles.

In order to meet these varied requirements the bumping-out tools of the present invention have been carefully designed to meet a maximum number of the different conditions that are met with in removing indentations from the various portions of the metal bodies of different makes of automobiles, and the bumping faces of the different anvils have been given different curves to conform to a maximum number of body curves.

In order to make clear the present invention several of the bumping-out tools of the above mentioned group have been illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and certain uses of these tools in removing indentations from the metal body of an automobile have been illustrated. It will be apparent, however, that bumping-out tools constructed in accordance with the present invention may be given various embodiments other than herein shown and described, and that the tools illustrated may be used to remove indentations from various portions of an automobile other than herein shown.

The invention will be best understood from the following description when read in con nection with the accompanying drawings which illustrate good practical forms thereof.

The bumping-out tool of Fig. 1 is designed more particularly for use in places where it is necessary to reach inwardly a considerable distance between the inner structure and the metal body of an automobile or other vehicle, and this bumping-out tool is therefore provided with a relatively long blade-like anvil 1 the outer bumping surface of which is this anvil will cause a rounded instead of a flat surface ofthe anvil to contact with the portion of the metal body being bumped-out,

' which is important'in removing indentations from a curved surface, Furthermore, the

transverse curvature of the anvil. 1 will facilitate its use in connection with portions of 1 the body whichmay curve bothlongitudinally and transversely, and also when the anvil extends transversely of the body curve.

The anvil 1 is shown as decreasing in thickness from its inner end to its outer end 2 and the end 2 is made relatively thin to facilitate its introduction between two contacting or closely adjacent surfaces, such as the metal body of an automobile and the backing structure or frame against which the metal of the body may rest. The gradual taper imparted to the anvil 1 gives the anvil sufiicient rigidity or stiffness to withstand the blows delivered to the outer or bumping face thereof, and also facilitates the introduction of the anvil between two closely adjacent surfaces.

As stated, the anvil may be supported while in engagement with the work by a handle is rigidly secured to the anvil and which is disposed in spaced relation thereto so as not to interfere with the insertion of the blade-like anvil between two closely adjacent surfaces. In the construction shown in Fig. 1 the anvil 1 is provided with a handle 3 which is polygonal in cross-section in order that it may be more firmly gripped in the hand but the particular cross-section configuration of the.v

handle is not important. The handle 3 is connected to the thicker inner end of the anvil 1 by the laterally extending portion 4 and the curved portion 5, the arrangement being such that the handle 3 is disposed in spaced relation to the anvil 1 and opposite the central portion thereof. The .anvil shown is of greater width than the handle.

The handle 3 is preferably heavier than the anvil 1, and the gooseneck connection formed by the portions 4 and 5 are sufliciently stiff and rigid to cause the hammer blows imparted to the anvil to be directly transmitted to the handle so that the weight or inertiaof rest of the handle and gooseneck will prevent the anvil from being displaced from the inner face of the metal body by the hammer blows during the bumping-outoperation. The entire bumping-out tool ofFig. 1 is conveniently formed as an integral structure of steel or other suitable material, and the anvil 1 is tempered to give the same sufficient strength and toughness to withstand the hammer blows and other forces to which it may be subjected.

In the construction of Fig. l the handle 3 extends at right angles to the anvil 1 and toward the axis of the radius of the longitudinal curve of the anvil so that blows delivered to any portion of the outer face of the anvil will be transmitted to the handle 3 in more or less of a radial direction, all of which tends to reduce the movement of the anvil away from the work under a hammer blow. F urthermore, the gooseneck connection between the handle and anvil serves to clear the inner frame structure as will be apparent from Fig. 19. I

The tool of Fig. 8 consists of a central barlike handle 6 which may be either round or I polygonal in cross-section and the handle 6 is provided at one end with an anvil 7 that extends approximately transversely to the longitudinal axis of the'handle, while at the opposite end of the handle 6 is provided a second anvil 8 which is offset from the longitudinal axis of the handle 6 but extends ina general lengthwise direction with respect to the handle.

The anvil 7 like-the anvil 1 tapers from one end toward the other and has its outer bumping surface curved both longitudinally and transversely, but the anvil 7 is not as long as the anvil 1 and it has a greater longitudinal curvature per inch than the anvil 1. The

anvil 7 is adapted for use in bumping-out indentations where a shorter anvil than that shown in Fig. 1 will reach the surface to be bumped out. The outer end 9 of the anvil 7 is made sufliciently thin to'facilitate its insertion between contacting surfaces and the entire tool is of suflicient length from the anvil 7 to the outer end of the anvil 8 to form a relatively long lever arm by means of which a powerful prying action may be exerted upon the anvil 7 to force the metal body and adjacent inner frame apart.

The handle 6 and thick end of the anvil 7 are connected by the rigid gooseneck portion toward the other and its bumping-out surface is curved both longitudinally and transverse ly substantially the same as the anvil 7. The

anvil 8 is offset from the handle 6 as shown,

and it is connected to one end of the handle .6

by the rigid curved portion 12. The anvil 8 is designed more particularly for use in places where it is necessary to reach inwardly between adjacent walls to a greater disused in removing indentations from the rear This tool consists of a att'ened anvil 13 having a thin end 14 and a handle 15 that is rigidly connected to'the anvil by the neck 16. I

In each of the tools shown the handle is made relatively heavy and a rigid connection is .provided between the anvil and handle to cause the blows delivered to the anvil to be directly imparted to the handle so that the weight or inertia of rest of the latter will prevent the anvil from being dislodged from the work by the hammer blows. Each of the tools described maywell be formed as an integral structure out of steel and the anvils are preferably tempered or hardened to the desired degree.

While the fore oing will serve to make clear the construction of the tools illustrated, a further description may be necessary to make clear the use of these tools in removing indentations from various portions of an automobile body, and in this connection reference is had to Figs. 19 to 23 inclusive of the drawings.

In Fig. 19 is shown a portion of the automobile top 17 and a door of usual construction, and the door comprises a frame formed of the spaced u rights termed a lock pillar 18 and hlnge pi ar 19, and to these pillars are rigidly secured the upper transverse bar 20, lower transverse bar 21, trim board22 and latch board 23. The door parts just described are rigidly secured together and are extremely di cult to remove and reassemble, but this has frequently been necessary heretofore in removing indentations from the outer metal 24 of the door. It will be a parent from Fig. 19 that the only portion 0 the inner face of the metal body of the door which is not obstructed by the inner frame structure is that portion lying above the trim board 22 and below the latch board 23, and even access to the innerface of this portion of the metal 24 of the door is partlv obstructed by the in clined brace 25..

It is a relatively simple matter to loosen the edge portions of the inner lining or' upholstery X so that the upholstery may be held or tacked back as shown in Fig. 19, but after this has been done, indentations can be removed from only a small portion of the metal body. frame by using a dolly block. It was therefore necessary prior to the present invention to remove the adjacent inner frame structure of the automobile before an indentation could be bumped out from a portion of the metal body lying opposite such frame construction.

For example, the practice prior to the present invent on for removing an indentaoperation.

tion positioned in front of the trim board, as indicated by 26 in Fig.19, was to first remove the board 22 so that a dolly block could be placed against the inner face of the indentation, and then replace the trim board after the indentation had been removed, but, as above stated, the removal of the frame structure is a diflicult and time consuming Through the use of the bum ing-out tools of the presentinvention an in entation may be removed from practically any portion of the metal body of an automobile without the necessity of removing any of the inner frame structure.

It will be clear from Fig. 19 that the.

bumping-out surface of the anvil 1 can readily be held against the indentation 26 while the same is removed by blows delivered by the hammer 27, and that it is unnecessary to remove the trim board 22 as heretofore in order to perform this bumpingout operation. It will also be clear from Fig. 19, that theend portioniof the anvil 1 may be forced down back'bf the lower transverse bar 21 to the lower folded edge 28 of the metal wall 24 to facilitate the removalof indentations therefrom, and that wherever the indentation may occur the an-' vil 1 may be held in place by the handle 3 while blows are delivered to the outer'face of the metal 24 by the hammer 27 to restore the metal 24 to its original shape.

In Fig. 20 the anvil 1 is shown in place for removin the ind ntation 29 positioned in front of t e latch board 23 of a door. In this case the end of the anvil has beeninserted between the metal wall 24 and the door center sill 30 which sill is spaced from the latch board 23 to form a passage for the sliding window 31. It will be apparent from 'Fig. 20 that since the upper edge part of the metal wall 24 is folded inwardly and nailed or otherwise secured to the inner face of the sill 30, the anvil cannot be inserted downwardly between the sill 30 and metal wall 24 but must-be inserted upwardly as shown.

In Fig. 21 the anvil 7 is shown as inserted between the metal body wall 32 of the wheel house panel and the horizontally extending sill 33. Spaced from the sill 33 is a second sill 34 arranged so that the window 35 may slide between them. The sills 33 and 34 are not as wide as the latch board 23 so that the shorter anvil 7 may be used in place of the longer anvil 1 to remove the indentation 36.

Fig. 22 illustrates the use of the anvil 8 in removing an indentation 37 from the lower back panel 38 of the automobile body. The rear end portion of an automobile body is commonly constructed as shown in Figs. 22 and 23 and has the curved uprights or back (strainers 39 the lower end portion of which extend downwardly to the floor of the automobile body back of the cushion support board 40, rear cross sill 41 and longitudinal lower sill 42. It will be seen from the man- 'ner in which the parts of the automobile body just described are assembled that it is an extremely diflicult operation to remove any one of such parts to obtain access to the inner face of the wall 38 of the metal body. Throughthe use of the-tool of Fig. 8 removal of such parts is unnecessary since the anvil 8 can readily be inserted between the board 40 and metal wall 38 to facilitate the removal of the indentation 37, and the tool.

bumping-out tools of the present invention may beused to remove indentations from various portions of an automobile metal body whlch are inaccessible to a dolly block, and

' that through the use of the present tools re moval of the inner frame structure is unnecessary. I What 1s claimed 1s 1.
